AA bad habit that must be stopped
BA valid pedagogic tool to be encouraged
CA sign that the child has not studied
DA practice useful only in mathematics
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A valid pedagogic tool to be encouraged
1. NCF 2005 describes the teacher's role in knowledge construction.
2. It encourages children to answer in their own words and from their own experiences.
3. It states explicitly that 'intelligent guessing' must be encouraged as a valid pedagogic tool, as new knowledge is constructed in the zone between what you know and what you almost know.
4. The other options contradict this, so the valid-pedagogic-tool option is correct.
